I think that sometimes huge props are used in movies or commercials. Maybe this was once used in a Malboro ad...

Quite possibly. 80s portrait photos did have some odd backgrounds though.

No decade since then has had such a personality as the 80s did. They were truly a magical era of child neglect and poor parenting.
